DIY Cards

Have you ever thought about how many times you give someone a website address and they have to find a pen, then find paper, then write it down?  I wonder how many times those scraps of paper get lost?

A quicker way is to give someone a business card and write it on the back… if you’re in sales or you have an important position in a company, you always have cards with you, right?  In a perfect world, yes.

The QUICKEST way is to make your own cards with your own favorite links.  Bryan has his, I have mine.  Actually I have several versions of “Carl’s Favorite Links” because they change!  Even with 8 links per card, it’s not enough.  Depending on where I’m going, I might take the blue ones, the pink ones, the salmon-colored ones or the yellow ones.

My mapmaker tool is on most of them and all of them include “m18.local4all.com”, a Local4All map that I estimate saved me hundreds of hours NOT giving turn by turn directions to Crooked Creek Park.  At the same time, I never heard one complaint of an athlete getting lost on his or her way to the Crooked Creek Triathlon.

If you have MS Word or the free OpenOffice software suite, you can

1. download and open this DIY card template,
2. substitute your websites for my Local4All page links
3. print as many copies as you want (you get 10 cards per page)
4. cut them out, and
5. hand them out to family, friends, coworkers, customers, and anybody else you can think of.
6. Tip: Save your file, you may want to print more later!
